As we turn the pages of an aged journal and caress weathered keys, the allure of becoming time travelers beckons, unlocking mysteries and rewards in the shadows of our past, encouraging us to skillfully embrace the richness of history's tapestry, including the transformative potential held within the whispers of our own traumas.

I think this is such a bonkers idea on so many levels
1. It shows us up as weak - we achieve something as a country and we all get on the p*ss and can't be bothered working - what happened to 'what's next' - it's not how winners behave, celebrate yes but train the next day...
2. The pubs will be full anyway, regardless of the next day
3. Not everyone likes football
4. We didn't have (and I don't remember loads of calls for) a bank holiday for the women winning the euros
5. As above for the Cricketers winning the world cup
6. What about other sports or major achievements - we very often punch above our weight in the Olympics - say we finish 3rd in the medals table (which would be a far bigger achievement) do we have another random day off
7. It's too hard to implement at too short notice and won't be a bank holiday for the vast majority
8. What about everyone with a hospital / doctors / dentist etc appointment on Monday - they get cancelled because those workers absolutely should be treated to the treat - retail AND hospitality won't be able to rejig rosters and will have to foot the bill for 'bank holiday' pay
9. Let's not even mention the direct correlation to 'on the p*ss' and the rise in domestic violence
Bonkers!
As we approach July 4th, it's important to keep safety in mind while celebrating. Here are some tips for a safe Independence Day:

Concerns about the so called "Safe Supply Drug" Program in BC:
1️⃣ Toxicity of unregulated drug market remains unaddressed. 2️⃣ Overdose deaths have not decreased, with 2,224 in BC in 2021. 3️⃣ Public safety is at risk with increased public drug use. 4️⃣ Lack of support services perpetuates addiction cycle.
BC NDP/Liberal Premier David Eby's recent plans to recriminalize public drug use shows a shift in government stance. Due to his lack of support in the polls , his about face looks like its purely out of self interest & self preservation. Drastic measures for identifying & addressing root causes of addiction, ensuring public safety, and providing support services is needed.
Let’s work together and oust the NDP/Liberal government coalition from BC and tell them NO MORE so called "Safe Supply" paid for by tax payers and recriminalize hard drugs.
We need to tell the NDP/LIBERAL's to Stop poisoning our community, secondly stop acting like you didn't create the problem.
Jagmeet Singh is POISONING our province and our country by supporting the Liberals. He can put a vote of no confidence at any given time, but instead he chooses to flood British Colombia with Hard Drugs to poison British Colombians.
